Cherry barbs were my next choice in fish, but also looking at cardinal or neon tetras, though would like to keep the oto cats and snail in the tank with whichever fish i choose.

It would have to be in the tetra family as i only have a ten gallon tank, and i want to be able to have a decent school for them. AqAvisor said that the above stocking for the rasboras would put my tank at 92% stocking.

I do know i can get both cardinal, and normal neon tetras in my area. I don't know if id want glowfish because this tank is in my bedroom, though by the time i go to bed i do turn the night led's off and leave the tank completely dark.

My heater is aqueon 50w and i love it because i can see the temperture i'm adjusting it to, which is something i needed for the species specific tank as they generic one i got with the starter set kept jumping too high for what i needed.

I could do white cloud mountain minnows however i don't know if they would adjust to the 78.4 degrees F i would be keeping it at for the oto cats and the snail because they prefer lower tempertures.

Thoughts, suggestions?

This tank is currently still going through a fishless cycle, so i want to make sure i have all my ducks (i know ducks on a fish forum, i'm so bad) in a row before stocking it in about hopefully two to three weeks as i've been on the cycle since november 24. Finally got the eyedroppers for the ammonia too, will make dosing so much easier.

I wouldn't do glofish because they are danios - they need a lot more space (due to their activity level) than 10gal & don't stay very small - you need fish that stay very small for that size tank - neons work well - cherry barbs also dont' stay very small. Harlequins I am not very familiar with as to final size.

I admit I have not read all of the threads you have going about this tank, But this link will be useful if you have not seen it before.

Gas mileage isn't everythingOIIIIIIIOLack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.

aquaadvisor is pretty decent when it comes to calculation filtration but it does NOT take into account things like cover needs and swimming space.

I always say it is 'Useful to sketch with but not exactly a final draft.' If you know what I mean.

I would not recommend White Cloud Mountain minnows. Their maximum size is just a tad smaller than zebra danios and while they aren't as active, when the males bicker, they can get quite serious.

I would suggest stocking with male endlers livebearers. They are REALLY colorful and also probably the smallest species suggested up until now. Without females they won't have anything to quarrel about and they also will not reproduce.
